Klopp's intention to send "Endo + Sala"... "Il + Egypt, I hope they fail in the group stage."
Coach Jurgen Klopp, who leads Liverpool, hoped for an early return of Mohamed Salah and Endo Wataru.
"Coach Jürgen Klopp said it was dishonest to wish Mohammed Salah and Endo Wataru, who participate in continental cup competitions," the global soccer match "Goal Dotcom" reported on the 5th (Korea time).
Klopp attended a pre-press conference on the 5th ahead of the 2023-24 FA Cup third round (round 64) away match between Liverpool and Arsenal at 1:30 a.m. on the 8th at the Emirates Stadium in London, England.
Coach Klopp, who faced the Premier League's prestigious Arsenal from the beginning of the FA Cup due to lack of luck during the match draw, opened his mouth about key players who left the club for a while at a pre-press conference at the invitation of the national team.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup and the African Football Federation (CAF) Nations Cup were held simultaneously in January 2024. The Asian Cup will open in Qatar on the 13th, and the African Cup of Nations will similarly be held in Ivory Coast on the 14th.
Since both tournaments are continental championships recognized by FIFA, their teams cannot reject the request for the national team's transfer. While many players were called to the national team and left the club for a while, Liverpool also sent Salah and Endo to the national team at the request of the Egyptian and Japanese soccer associations, respectively.
The finals of the Asian Cup and the African Cup of Nations will be held on Feb. 11 and 12, respectively. Egypt was the runner-up of the last tournament, and Asian soccer powerhouse Japan is also considered one of the strong contenders for the Asian Cup.
If both Egypt and Japan advance to the final, Liverpool will have to play as many as seven games without Salah and Endo, including the FA Cup match against Arsenal. This period includes the first and second legs of the League Cup semi-final against Fulham, and on February 5, they have to leave Arsenal's away game in round 23 of the league.
With a series of important matches waiting, the absence of Salah and Endo has been a big blow. First, Salah is a world-class striker who represents the self-certified Premier League, and he has appeared in 27 games in all competitions this season, scoring 18 goals and nine assists, playing at the core of Liverpool's attack.
In particular, he scored 14 goals and eight assists in the Premier League this season, leading both in scoring and helping, and is capable of aiming for both the top scorer and the top scorer. 헤라카지노주소
As Japan's national soccer team captain Endo has recently emerged as a key player in Liverpool's midfield, it is expected that there will be a lot of damage from the team's transfer. Thirty-year-old veteran midfielder Endo, who left Stuttgart and wore a Liverpool uniform ahead of the season's opening, had difficulty adapting early, but has recently become a main player for Liverpool as he has been consistently starting.
The Premier League secretariat also praised Endo's performance on its website on the 30th of last month, saying, "Endo has an opportunity to prove that he is reliable in Liverpool's midfield," adding, "Endo, who is so mobile that he walks around the stadium regardless of clean ball possession, quick tackle and ball presence, has performed impressively in the past five games on behalf of the injured Alexis McAllister."
